I am a nobleman in England

It's so simple and rude, just use the money!

Do you rely on your mouth to negotiate an acquisition?Stop it, everyone is busy.

There is nothing in the world that cannot be broken with money. If there is, then you are not rich enough!

The reason why the negotiation of the acquisition has been overwhelmed and delayed for a long time, in fact, is plainly speaking, it is because both sides have maintained their sense of reason, and it is strange that they do not give up anything for their own interests.

How can it be simple now. To be honest, it is because time is too tight and cash is not easy to carry. Otherwise, Arthur would like to pour 45 million pounds of cash directly into the meeting room to let the other party experience money. youhuo.

However, the effect is also good now, the real cash check, forward, everyone on the other side is jealous.

In fact, to be honest, many human relations accidents in this world seem difficult to deal with, but in fact, they can be solved with money.Well, although this is somewhat absolute, in today's society, except for birth, old age, sickness and death, money is basically omnipotent.(Don’t curl your lips, the devil’s experience!)

Fifteen minutes later...

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and everyone in the cinema line walked back to the conference room under the leadership of Ms. Binz. CEO Ms. Binz had a smile on her face, but her eyes were extremely complicated and looked at Ya with a bright smile. Sebring, the young rich man.

"Mr. Bolin, after communicating with the shareholders, we agreed to your acquisition and can start preparing the contract."

"Haha, a wise choice!" Arthur smiled happily, stood up, shook hands with the other side, and said, "For you, you are just a different boss, and the others have not changed!"

Now that the acquisition has been successful, Arthur naturally wants to appease the executives of the theater. After all, the most disturbed group of old employees is their new boss. Although they do not know that the emperor and the courtier, but they It is also understood that the new boss will inevitably make personnel adjustments to complete the control, and that will naturally lead to management turbulence.

However, Arthur didn’t even think about moving these people. To put it bluntly, Arthur didn’t really take the studio theater line too seriously. The acquisition of it in advance was just to pave the way for the acquisition of the Odeon theater line. .

The contract was quickly drawn up, and after Arthur met with the shareholders who rushed over, the two parties signed and completed the transaction under the witness of the cinema executives.

Since then, Arthur’s asset list has added another independent cinema line consisting of 23 theaters.

"...Many years ago, most market towns with a population of more than 10,000 people would have local cinemas. Many of those cinemas were closed in the 1970s and 1980s, when the number of moviegoers in the UK was the lowest. Period... Later, new technology gave people confidence and let you know that you don’t need a lot of money to develop your own movie theater."

CEO Bins accompanied the new boss Arthur Bolin and began to visit the Prince's Cinema, following the same steps, introducing the new boss like a few.

"What about the positioning?" Arthur asked with a slight raised eyebrow, looking at the cinema that already belonged to him, although it was a bit old, but in a unique style.

"For the cinema chain, we prefer to be positioned as a "neighborhood cinema", rather than the traditional "boutique cinema" with a niche style of independent LI cinema. We will not care about the competition of high-end multi-hall cinemas. Although we don’t have big, shiny leather seats, we are very comfortable. We are part of the community and have delicious food and drinks. For us, a big advantage is that our film list has depth And breadth."

Speaking of these, Binz is very proud, because only two of the company's 23 theaters show relatively restricted movies.At the same time, theaters in Soho and Bloombury have implemented a pure screen policy.The theaters of Mayfair, Richmond and Wimbledon are also in line with the brand's core values. Of course, you may see more mainstream films in other regions.

"...For us, the only problem is that the challenge facing the independent screening industry is how to maintain the number of viewers during the summer blockbuster film release period."

Hearing this, Arthur nodded slightly. To tell the truth, I really want to make money, or those big popcorn commercial movies, the art category is really too small.

"Movies are something we can't control. Movies are made by other people. We can only control how much the theater itself is liked by the audience. We can control the food and drinks we sell. We can control the team that serves the audience. This Is what we can do."

Hearing some insights from the young boss, Binns couldn't help but brighten his eyes and smiled happily: "It is true. People often ask us,'How far can you go?'

I can’t see the situation five years from now, but if you ask me to draw a map and mark out any town that I think can open a cinema, it should be everywhere, and opening a cinema should be at the right price. Have the right opportunity to find the right building.This is a challenge-there is no definite town or location."

"Haha, ambition is not small." Arthur smiled and glanced at Bins, then sighed with emotion, nodded and smiled: "You can continue to implement according to your own plan, including the large signage of the cinema, membership card, food menu and Popcorn boxes, as well as the Picturehouse website and digital applications. Some long-term signs, such as movie theater screen numbers, will remain unchanged until they need to be replaced."

Hearing what the young boss said, Binz sighed in secret again. To tell the truth, she was really worried that the new boss would make drastic changes, which would not only cost manpower and material resources, but also weaken the value of the brand. Now I know everything. As usual, how can I not let out a sigh of relief.

"Take me to a film production company. I'm very interested in it!" After reading many beautiful essays, I am naturally familiar with the routines of dominating the film industry. It is nothing more than continuing to work as a porter. For a film company, Arthur would naturally not waste resources, but to make it run.

As the core force against Hollywood's monopoly of the domestic film market, British independent films are related to the overall situation of the British film industry. In recent years, the market share has been increasing in a spiral manner and the upward trend is obvious.

Of course, the prosperity of British independent films is not accidental. The strong support of British ZF, the mission carried by the film, and the close relationship between the film industry and other industries constitute the internal motivation for development.

At the same time, British independent LI films are facing the complicated situation of American film box office competition. How to break through development bottlenecks such as narrow audiences, digital technology challenges, lack of profitability and weak distribution and projection links are the real challenges faced by British independent LI films.

"Boss, as an important part of the British film industry, British independent film not only shoulders the responsibility of prospering the local British film market, but also shoulders the arduous mission of leading British films to internationalization. This is why the film company is losing money, we The reason to keep it!"

On the way to the film company, Binz introduced to Arthur with some emotion, "According to the definition of the British Film Association, British independent film refers to the British film produced by independent production companies other than the six major production companies in the United States. , The six companies include Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Walt Disney, Universal, Sony and Warner Bros.

British films can be divided into two parts: British independent LI films and co-production films invested and produced by major American film companies.This method of classification implies the salient features and reality of the British film industry. Hey, it is ashamed and helpless to say it. The Americanization of British films and the British films under the shadow of Hollywood have always had a sense of identity and inferiority complex..."

"Hollywood is rampant in the world, and it is not like the British one. The key is to see whether the local filmmakers want to do something. If they want to break into Hollywood with all their heart, then British movies will continue to be lost!" Arthur smiled lightly. Tell the truth.
